Abstract
Atmospheric components of global change, such as increased atmospheric nitrogen deposition, increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations and enhanced levels of UV-B radiation, may have profound effects on semi-natural ecosystems. in the industrialized world, ecosystem net primary productivity and biodiversity are most strongly influenced by the currently very high levels of atmospheric N deposition. More-over, there are strong feed-back mechanisms with the global carbon cycle. This implies that the role of ecosystems in the global carbon cycle should be analyzed and quantified more thoroughly. The effects of increased CO, concentrations and enhanced UV-B radiation on natural eco-systems are less profound. It has been found that the effects observed with agricultural crops can not be extrapolated to effects on species from (semi-) natural ecosystems. More-over, these global change factors cause a large number of indirect effects, which makes long-term predictions of these effects rather complicated. This implies that long-term studies are essential to quantify these effects and to be able to produce realistic long-term predictions about the global effects of the planned reduction scenarios for atmospheric CO2 concentrations and for restoration of the ozone layer. 15 refs.
